Chapter 339: Chapter 5 Bu Chan's Foundation Establishment_1

"If fellow Shen is heading back to Baiyun Prairie, you might as well wait for me for two days, so we can go together for mutual support," said the Li-surnamed Tool Refiner after the second-class Spirit Cook's magic tool was refined.

In the past half a month, Wang Ba and the Tool Refiner have become quite a match.

Perhaps they get along because they are both cultivators who immerse themselves deeply in the Hundred Arts, without much beating around the bush, they come straight to the point.

Even though their specialization is not the same, but one could draw inference about other cases from one instance, Wang Ba also has a rough understanding of the major category of Artifact Refining.

He even followed the Li-surnamed Tool Refiner and learned some skills to temper spirit materials and adjust the composition of the materials.

Perhaps it's because in his cooking, setting up treatment liquid has a similar effect, Wang Ba learned quickly, which even impressed the Tool Refiner greatly.

He commented that if Wang Ba initially learned artifact refining, his achievement might not be inferior to his present state.

Wang Ba responded to this with just a calm smile, saying that the art of a Spiritual Cook could be considered the best match for him.

It is no less than Beast Control.

If he had truly chosen the path of Artifact Refining, without a huge amount of spirit materials to practice on, his growth would be impossible.

And it would be even less possible to have reached the stage he is at now.

But as for Li, the Tool Refiner's goodwill, though Wang Ba was a bit anxious to go back, considering that he might need to adjust the Spirit Cook's magic tool in the future, he didn't feel right to refuse.

"Then, call me when you're done with your business," Wang Ba replied with a smile.

The Tool Refiner then locked himself in his room to carefully review what he had gained from this refining experience.

This is a habit many Tool Refiners have.

Spirit materials are hard to come by, so they must cherish every opportunity to refine a second-class magic tool.

It's not like an Alchemist who has a more plentiful supply of spiritual medicine and minerals, and a higher margin of error.

Nor is it like a Talisman Maker, where if he makes a mistake, he can simply start over.

Not wanting to waste time, Wang Ba took a second-class lower grade Spirit Chicken from his Spirit Beast Bag and attempted to make a second-class chicken essence.

However, compared with the first-class Spirit Chicken, both the size and some parts of the second-class Spirit chicken have changed significantly. For example, the strength of areas such as its beak and claws has increased dramatically, so the previously configured treatment liquid doesn't work as well.

Luckily, Wang Ba had collected quite a few spirit materials and spiritual medicines over the years.

After some thought, he was able to successfully prepare a treatment liquid that was suitable for the second-class Spirit Chicken.

Quickly plucking feathers, dismembering…

After a busy time.

"Pur–,"

The rich aroma of the chicken essence, with a strange smell, drifted from the pot.

On smelling this, Wang Ba frowned slightly.

After lifting the lid, he found that the chicken essence, which should have been in a frozen state at the bottom of the pot, was showing a slightly murky grayish black color.

"There are too many impurities, it seems that the treatment liquid needs to be adjusted again… and the heat isn't right either,"

Although he had never made a second-class essence before, with his extensive experience, Wang Ba could spot the problem even with his eyes closed.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that he vaguely noticed that something was added to the essence besides the familiar essence of blood and Qi.

Wang Ba extended his index finger and gently wiped some of it into his mouth.

His eyes lit up.

"This… has benefits to Soul Power too,"

Strictly speaking, the Spirit Chicken essence made from a first-class Spirit Chicken can also enhance Soul Power after refining. At the beginning, Wang Ba relied on eating Spirit Chicken to condense the Power of the Yin God.

But this second-class chicken essence is different; in addition to the rich Spiritual Energy, it has separately formed a pure Soul Power in addition to Essence and blood.

It doesn't even need refining; it naturally replenishes Soul Power as soon as it is consumed.

Tasting a bit more, he had some new feelings about the second-class essence made from Spirit Chicken.

"Besides this, the quality of Qi is much higher than when it was first-class, I'm guessing even if it is used by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the effect isn't bad,"

"The essence blood Qi is even more abundant."

"Just this small piece is probably as effective as a fifth of a bottle of first-class chicken essence."

"What a pity, I messed it up this time,"

Wang Ba looked regretfully at the essence in the pot, which contained more than sixty percent impurities. Not wanting to throw it away, he fed it to the Spirit Turtle.

At the same time, he recorded these feelings one by one.

After summing up the experience and reorganizing his thoughts, Wang Ba made significant changes to the treatment liquid.

As the impurity content reached 60%, it suggested that there were significant problems with the composition of the treatment liquid.

In the next two days, he spent almost all his time attempting to make second-class chicken essence.

He didn't bring many second-class lower-grade Spirit Chickens, mostly because they were naturally bred and their numbers never increased dramatically.

The second-class lower-grade Spirit Chickens were soon used up.

But he was able to successfully increase the purity of the second-class chicken essence to about 70%.

Without much hesitation, he started trying with the second-class upper-grade Spirit Chicken.

Thanks to Jia 15's hard work, from the second-grade upper class onwards, the number of his Spirit Chickens shoots up dramatically.

Now he has more than three thousand second-class upper-grade Spirit Chickens under his hands.

The number of top-grade Spirit Chickens is a lot less, but there are still two to three hundred of them.

Compared to the meat chickens, the number of Phantom Chickens bred by Jia 15 is significantly less.

There are about one hundred and forty second-class upper-grade ones.

Chapter 340: Chapter 5 Bu Chan's Foundation Establishment_2

There were twelve of the Class II top-grade ones.

Looking at all the forces throughout Yan State, I'm afraid only the number of Foundation Establishment disciples of the Four Great Sects is higher than his.

But if you count the Mountain Moving Apes, Spiritual Ghost Eels, and Azure Spirit Turtles under his command, it would be hard to say.

If it were not for the fact that he still does not have a Class III Spirit Beast, it would not be inappropriate to consider him as the fifth sect.

And these are his confidence to establish a footing on Baiyun Prairie, and also where his true wealth lies at the moment.

"Hmm, the strength of the beak and the tip of the claws of the Class II upper-grade Spirit Chicken has increased significantly compared to the Class II lower-grade, and the concentration of the treatment liquid must be adjusted…"

"The Essence and Blood condensed in the muscles are even harder to melt. It seems that the duration of the Wood Fire must be even longer."

In his mind, he quickly goes over the points that he's gathered and follows through on them as he carefully processes the Spirit Chicken piece by piece. He then puts it back into the magic cauldron and begins Artifact Refining once again.

After more than three shichen, even with Wang Ba's robust mana, the continuous use of Wood Fire was starting to strain him.

And the refining of the Spirit Chicken Essence was finally approaching its climax.

Soon.

"Hiss – "

With a burst of heat emitted, Wang Ba lifted the lid of the cauldron and quickly cast a Spell to cool it down.

At the bottom of the cauldron, he saw a shiny transparent gel-like Essence, with only a small bit of greyish black impurities, shaking slightly.

"The purity has reached eighty-five percent… it's acceptable. With more practice, the purity should be able to increase."

Wang Ba nodded slightly.

"I wonder how receptive this is."

"What a pity, there's currently no one to give feedback."

Just as he was contemplating.

From outside the house came the voice of Tool Refiner Li:

"Elder, I am ready, when will we departure?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was suddenly struck with an idea.

Isn't this readily available!

He quickly unlocked the door prohibition and hastily welcomed Tool Refiner Li.

"Elder Li, I would like you to advise me on a matter, this is the newly refined Spirit Chicken Essence."

"Elder Shen, you're joking. I'm just a common worker, how would I understand your Spiritual Cook's… "

Li, the tool refiner, was humble and hadn't finished his sentence when he saw the gel-like essence in the cauldron, which was only half size of an adult palm, and paused.

As a cultivator of high cultivation base, he immediately sensed the difference.

"Is… Isn't this the previous one?"

Li, the Tool Refiner, asked in shock.

Without further ado, he quickly sleeved up and extended his index finger, wrapped it in mana, nicked a small piece off the edge of the gel-like essence, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

In an instant, Li, the Tool Refiner, has his facial expression frozen, his eyebrows quickly churned, and then he looks astounded!

"Why…why does this also has benefits for the Soul…."

"Elder Shen, can I taste it again? I assure you, this piece of Essence, I'll buy it!"

After a small piece, Li, the Tool Refiner, couldn't help but ask urgently.

Wang Ba, being generous to his approving friends, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"No problem, you can try more, I can also give this to you, but this piece's purity is not high and it has some impurities. By the way, after you finish it, you need to give me some useful advice."

"I'll do my best."

Li, the Tool Refiner, wasn't concerned about impurities, he carefully took the Spirit Chicken Essence out with his mana and took it.

Then he sat down in his current location and began to refine it.

Two full shichens.

By the time Li, the Tool Refiner, finally opened his eyes, it was already dark outside.

Just a piece of Spirit Chicken Essence wouldn't bring any amazing change to Li, the Tool Refiner.

However, after reminiscing for a moment, Li, the Tool Refiner, couldn't help but reveal an expression of astonishment:

"Elder Shen's Essence, in terms of the purity of Spiritual Energy, is not inferior to the Class II top-grade 'Mulberry Fire Pill' that I have taken before."

"But the more essential point is that the Essence and Blood in this Essence is really abundant, which is of great benefit to the vitality of the body and even the breakthrough of the realm. The effect can be compared to the extremely rare Class II upper-grade 'Perpetual Creation Pill'."

"The most important of all, is the Soul energy contained within, this is a good thing!"

"In my Cultivation till now, I've only captured something called 'Divine Dew' at the frontline of Wei State before, which can directly supplement the Soul. There are hardly any other alternatives, and even if there are, they are quite troublesome."

"The only regret is that the amount of Spiritual Energy, Essence Yuan and Soul contained here is a bit lacking."

Listening to the detailed analysis of Li, the Tool Refiner, Wang Ba can't help but feel a bit amazed.

Although he could also sense the things contained within, but to quantify it with Elixirs and make comparisons, he simply couldn't do as he had never taken any Elixir before.

But what the other party said about less contained energy is normal. After all, in order to retain the most essential part as much as possible, they certainly have to remove a lot of impurities. A Class II upper-grade Spirit Chicken was not small, but it was indeed not much after removing the impurities.

Of course, this is simple for him. Just add one more and refine it together.

An essence made from two Class II upper-grade Spirit Chickens should be enough for one person.

"Elder, if it's not too much trouble, could you make two more for me?"

Li, the Tool Refiner, asked a bit embarrassingly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba didn't refuse. After all, he also needed to continue practicing to improve purity.

He began to prepare the treatment liquid.

And Li, the Tool Refiner, tactfully left the house.

When Wang Ba came out of the house, it was already early the next morning.

He had made a few pieces of Spirit Chicken Essence, but unfortunately, the purity of all of them was hovering around eighty-five percent, and he didn't know what the problem was.
